Chapter 997: Chapter 629: Thousand Faces, Thousand Forms (4K)_2

The two streams of black light carried the power to demonize all things.

If Fairy Zihua and the others were to take this demonic light head-on, even if they did not immediately fall into the Demon Dao, they would still be disturbed by Heart Demons.

Yet at this moment, the three Daoist Monarchs—Zhang Jian, Daoist Monarch Taiyan, and Daoist Monarch Tianyue—were all being held in check by this peerless Demon Monarch.

His vast, formless Demon Realm had already unfolded, like a cosmic Demon Dao universe.

But then, from deep within Fairy Zihua’s forehead, a cyan lotus suddenly surfaced.

Tier One Eternal Dao Skill, Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell.

This was a supreme Protective Spell Zhang Jian had bestowed upon her.

The cyan Treasure Lotus soared across the sky, emitting salvation; the Immortal Light of purification instantly purified the two streams of demonic light.

Only, some of the surrounding Immortal Gods at the Taiyi Realm, at the Taiyi True Number Level, were slightly tainted by the demonic light; demonic qi surged around their bodies, their minds disturbed by Demonic Thoughts. They had no choice but to sit cross-legged and exert themselves fully to resist the spread of their own Demonic Thoughts.

Before the Demon Suppression Celestial Wheel, having just gone through a minor trial of arms, Zhang Jian already understood that the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch before him was likely a Third-Turn Demon Monarch.

A Third-Turn Demon Monarch and a Third-Turn Daoist Monarch are naturally existences of the same level.

At his peak, he was likely not far from the Daoist Venerable Realm.

Fortunately, this one had been imprisoned in Chonghua Palace for a very long time.

Even if he had escaped for tens of thousands of years, he had only recovered a portion of his Dao Practice.

If he were allowed to charge into Demon Suppression Valley and devour the Infinite Demonic Qi of the Five Tribulations Heart Demon, as well as the Five Tribulations Demon Seal, then he would be even harder to deal with.

A thought flashed through Zhang Jian’s mind; he then turned to Daoist Monarch Taiyan and Daoist Monarch Tianyue and said, "Two seniors, I will pin down this demon. I ask the two of you to strike when the opportunity arises and execute the demon!"

Deep in Zhang Jian’s eyes, cyan Divine Light faintly flowed as a Third-Grade cyan Treasure Lotus flew out from his forehead.

This time he did not intend to employ the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Qiankun Map.

Though the Middle-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Third-Grade Innate Creation Cyan Lotus was somewhat lower in grade, the power of purification contained within the Third-Grade Innate Creation Cyan Lotus was extremely restraining toward Outer Demon Dao.

As the Forehead Dao Fruit Qingyun at Zhang Jian’s brow fused with the Third-Grade Innate Creation Cyan Lotus, a surge of intense Innate Creation Cyan Lotus Immortal Light flew out from within.

This Innate Divine Forbidden Technique Dharma Gate blossomed forth; wherever it passed, layers of Demon Dao cosmic phantoms seemed to be pierced through by the cyan Immortal Light. The Infinite Demonic Qi condensed within the Demon Dao cosmic void into a gigantic, void-like visage, which, brushed by the cyan Divine Light, let out a heart-rending cry; countless demonic qi scattered from it.

It was forcibly swept aside, straight toward the depths of the Demon Dao universe, brushing toward that terrifying Demon Venerable that seemed to be the Demon Dao Sovereign, whose umbilical cords birthed Infinite Demon Gods.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch sensed this and could not help but blanch.

He also perceived the emergence of an Innate Spiritual Treasure; his palm formed seals at lightning speed as if billions of Demon phantoms behind him threw back their heads and howled to the heavens, merging in an instant into the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch’s body.

Infinite Demonic Qi around him surged, as if forging the True Body of the Supreme Demon Venerable born in the primordial Taichu years.

"Ten Thousand Demons Enter the Body, Myriad Forms Demon Seal!"

He rapidly formed seals in his hands, manifesting a gigantic demonic qi barrier.

Yet in the next instant his figure shifted, and he was blasted backward by the impact of that Innate Creation Cyan Lotus Immortal Light; the cosmos collapsed!

Layers of demonic shadows around his body dispersed; in that instant, it was as if over a hundred Demon Aspects burst from the barrier, turning into pure demonic qi that was then purified.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch’s face turned slightly pale, an unpleasant look appearing in the depths of his eyes.

Just as Zhang Jian had anticipated, although he had escaped for tens of thousands of years, trapped within the Thirty-Three Heavens, he could only skulk and hide in the shadows, making the recovery of his Dao Practice extremely difficult.

After tens of thousands of years, he had only barely restored a small portion of his Dao Practice.

He simply could not maintain this level of combat strength for long.

Moreover, the greatest danger lay in the fact that he was now a lone commander with no troops: aside from the Dao Practice in his body, he did not have a single useful treasure. Faced with this group of Celestial Realm Daoist Monarchs armed to the teeth, he was at a severe disadvantage.

"Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch, you dared to seize my sworn sister’s body and sully the reputation of Jiuyou Emperor’s Mansion—today I shall see you fall here!"

Deadly menace flickered in Zhang Jian’s eyes.

Had he not successfully broken through to the Daoist Monarch Realm, then confronted with this cauldron flying toward him, everyone in Jiuyou Emperor’s Mansion would be in grave trouble.

He was determined not to spare the other.

Around his body, the powers of Heaven and Earth, Kan and Li, Zhen and Gen, Lake and Xun emerged in eight currents, in an instant evolving into a three-dimensional Tai Chi Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams diagram. Radiance flowed; wherever it passed, all things froze in place, as if forcibly suppressed within by the terrifying Divine Power derived from those eight currents.

Where the eight-colored Divine Light passed, the numerous demonic umbilical cords manifested by the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch, as well as the Demon Aspects budding upon those cords, were slightly arrested.

Zhang Jian also felt his own Dao Practice pouring like a flood into this Eternal Dao Skill.

Tier One Eternal Dao Skill: Earth Emperor’s Eight Trigrams.

And within the eight-colored Divine Light of Earth Emperor’s Eight Trigrams, another strand of purple-yellow Immortal Light flowed.

That was the Tier One Eternal Daoist Skill: Mountain and River Map.

Once this matrix-form Eternal Dao Skill took shape, it completely suppressed the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch within the evolved eight-colored Divine Light, as if the powers of the great Earth and mountains and rivers of the Wilderness universe and heavens were bearing down upon his body.

The many Demon Realms looming behind the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch collapsed on a vast scale, turning into bubbles!

Within the Immortal Light, the Qiankun Map behind Zhang Jian silently merged with the Mountain and River Map, greatly increasing its suppressive might.

In that fleeting moment, the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch, though a Third-Turn Demon Monarch, actually felt incapable of moving.

Bulging veins stood out on the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch’s forehead as Infinite Demonic Qi boiled around him; within it even portions of the Six Great Demon Realms and fragments of Demon Venerable Divine Aspects evolved, all struggling at full strength.

He was a Third-Turn Demon Monarch of the Outer Celestial Demon Realm, the one closest to the Realm of Demon Venerable—how could he possibly be suppressed by a newly ascended Daoist Monarch?
